Doi Suthep-Pui & Mae Jo, Chiang Mai, Thailand

[Painted Jezebel]

I arrived in Chiang Mai e few days in advance of the main party, and took the time to visit Doi Suthep and Mae Jo.

Doi Suthep-Pui: Rather disappointing in early October!
LD1 - Aeromachus dubius impha - Forest Scrub Hopper
LD2 - Pelopidas conjunctus conjunctus - Conjoined Swift?
LD3 - Dodona egeon egeon - Orange Punch
LD4 - Abisara sp. (can not make my mind up about this one.)

Mae Jo" Last time, this area proved amazingly productive, particularly for Theclini. Unfortunately, the area around the pond has been cut down and nothing was there. However, I was shown to paths nearby which were known for some species not generally found elsewhere in Thailand.

LD5 - Arnetta atkinsoni - Atkinson's Bob (w.s.f - 2nd photo is a female)
LD6 - Ampittia maroides - Banded Bush Hopper (please note that Pisuth has the males of the 2 Ampittia species the wrong way round!)
LD7 - Ypthima sp. I believe I was told it was Ypthima savara savara (Pallid Fivering) but I forgot to make a note of it!
LD8 - Mycalesis annamatica annamatica (Annam Bushbrown)
LD9 - Abisara abnormis (Abnormal Judy) - or so I was told!

Oops, I missed one from Doi Suthep;

LD11 - Mycalesis francisca sanatana (Lilicine Bushbrown) ?

LD 11.
Probably right.

TL Seow :Cheers.
PS. LD2 The upperside is that of a female P. lubricans though the underside appeared too dark & the FWs too sharp.

LD2 .
I can't see the wingshape as distorted, & the underside is quite dark.Two cellspots.

It should be Caltoris tenuis (tenuis = thin, slender.)

TL Seow : Cheers.

The skipper is a good match for Halpe filda which is new to Thailand.

TL Seow :Cheers.
PS. The Rapala has to be a female R. suffusa.

Federick, one of your Halpe skipper ( I can't find it ) also appeared to be this species.

Seow, I think you will find it in the Maekampong waterfall thread. However, I also have it, and show it below for easier checking.
